"No one knows why the First King decided to enshrine himself and his sword within enemy lands. Despite the oddity, it was stupid—or was it?"

Chapter Forty-One ♣ The Twelve's Movie Adventure
Valeriana was rummaging through the goods loaded in the package sent by her mother when she suddenly saw something that made her jump excitedly. Her mother was truly surprising. She fought the urge to scream—which she eventually did in the end—as she affectionately clutched the DVD cases in her arms. She jumped around, hair bouncing around her as she did.
"Oh my god! The first, second, and third movie of Kingdom Knights on BluRay! Oh my god! And mom even included the new installment! Ahhhhhh!" she screamed, looking over the fourth movie with fervent eyes. "Kingdom Knights: The Princess of the Crystal Throne. Holy crap! Doug Landers looks even better than he did in the last movie! OH MY GOD! I was waiting for this to be released all year! I'm so excited."
"What's that, Valeriana?" Tamara asked.
"Oh, well . . . it's the movie I was waiting for. I guess it was released when I came here," she answered.
"A movie? What's a movie?" Elfre asked, forehead wrinkling.
"It's something you watch for entertainment—kind of like a play except recorded in a video and burned to a CD to be distributed among the masses for a suitable price."
"I don't understand," Keelan said.
"Don't," Brindon agreed.
"How can a play fit in that small contrivance?"
"Wait a moment. I want to watch this immediately," she said, before running upstairs to retrieve her laptop from her room.
The rankers shared a look before shrugging, clueless. The ways of men were pretty strange to them, but interesting at the same time as well. Valeriana later emerged from the stairs with her laptop pinned under her arm. She walked over to them and placed the object on top of the table while the circle leaned towards the object curiously.
"What is that?"
"My laptop," she answered, pressing the power button to boot up the device.
A tune echoed from the computer as it started, making the circle hop back in surprise—all except for Valeriana and a few others like Tamara, Corvan, Charles, and Rowe, who remained calm. They just raised a brow at the device in confusion, apparently questioning its existence.
After it started, Valeriana typed in her password and ran her fingers over the touch pad. She opened the DVD drive, popping the case of the movie open. She slid the CD into her computer and started the movie.
As the intros played, the others hopped back even further, eyes widening as they caught sight of the moving pictures. Tamara, in particular, leaned over the computer, examining the front and the back.
"I don't get how there are people inside that very small thing," she said. "What kind of sorcery is this?"
"I told you, it's a movie," she answered and squealed. "Nanananana!" Valeriana fought the urge to scream while singing the opening music. "As dawn comes rolling, like night they come riding—"
"No, stop!" Tamara hurriedly clamped a hand over mouth. "For the sake of the king, do not sing!"
Apparently, during her time of stay, the circle discovered her horrendous singing voice and forbid her from even merely humming a tune.
